SK8-TV premiered on Nickelodeon on Independence Day, July 4, 1990. The show was produced by Binder Entertainment. SK8-TV was the first show to feature skateboarding as a primary theme.👍
This show was the first time I discovered skateboarding. I lived in a small town in Wyoming and we had no skaters there. I got pretty obsessed with watching this show and buying Thrasher magazines. I still have pictures of Christian Hosoi that I put on my wall as a teenager. I did not remember that Matthew Lillard was in this. That's so cool.
I remember not having cable so my buddy would record this then we'd watch it together!This is pretty much when skateboarding went mainstream!!It was Everywhere by 1990,I was just starting high school when this was out!!Best of times for Sure!!I had that same shirt Matt had on in interview with Ray!!Ohh the 90's were Soo RAD!!Loving those commercials.Thanks
I used to watch sk8 TV every Saturday morning get on my Mike McGill fishbone and rip it up. This show has a very special place in my heart. I can watch this and be 9 yrs old again.
I had this episode recorded onto a VHS tape and used to watch it over and over before going out to skate. It was such an obsession back then for me. Miss those days, but don't miss getting into trouble 😅
Features Gator, eep. Kinda sad that he brought so much shame to the skating community after his crimes, that so many gave up on skating as a result of his actions.
On one of these episodes I remember they had a “send in your home video” challenge and there was a guy named Igor who won it. When I seen it I was like damn man i do all the same tricks he was doing. I begged my parents to buy a video recorder cause I wanted my stuff sent in but it never happened. I quit in 93 but I remember my last trick I ever learned was a 360 flip(which was the trick of the time). Which now that I think about it....was hard as hell to land on those big bulky decks. I weigh a buck 65 now/47 years old and if not for having a f’d up knee/elbow/shoulder and back I’d get back into it. Tom Knox said it best: once a skater, always a skater!!!! Oh well, I can relive my teen years through uploads like these. Thank you my dude!!!
Knox was 100% correct. I havent skated in like 20 years but I still love it, and I do hope to aleast get back on a board again even if it's just a little carving.
use to watch sk8 tv religiously. set the vcr, kick back and get hyped before going out to sk8 with my friends. lost all my tapes 🤦🏻♂️ thanks for the blast from the past
I would watch them alot also, but was not able to record them when they aired. I was so happy to score this tape that had all of them on it. I just hope that it would get a real release on DVD or Bluray someday.
@@wm45 hell yeah! get the petition going for dvd/bluray and i will sign it. ha! wouldn't mind if they brought it back---updated version, obviously. just keep it true to the original some what. dedicated to skatemaster tate 😔
Always a front of the TV when sk8 TV was on air, me and my skate boys, only 8,9 years old i think when it's started back in the days, it's freaking because i remember it all, any how was a long time ago i seen Ray Barbee skate, one of my favorite skateboarder in that period, softy nice style make it look easy. Sk8 4 life 🤩
Man what a blast from the past. Thanks for uploading, I used to religiously watch this show as a kid. If I remember correctly I was catching re runs on Nickelodeon (gas?) in the late 90’s, Something like that. Really bring back some great memories
I may not be a middle-aged Gen-Xer going through a midlife crisis, pining to relive their youth... but, I remember when Sk8TV was on Nick GAS, from 1999 to 2005.
I’m 15 and I think I started was longboarding when I was 14 or 13 and searching up ‘Matthew Lillard’ and seeing this, it blew my mind. Besides the fact the Matthew was on this show but the fact that it was a show about skateboarding. Watching this episode I might start trying to skateboard, the only reason I haven’t is because the wheels are to small and it scares me going over rocks and those yellow bumps, watching this is making me motivated into trying skateboarding and tricks out.
I used to watch this every Saturday morning as a kid. Wasn’t this around the same time Mark strangled Christian Hosoi ex girlfriend to death? Hearing him say his favorite band was the Stranglers was a bit unnerving. Such a sad waist of a young life. I can only imagine how her family felt. I highly doubt Gator will ever make parole due to the severity of his crime. Anyways I have got off topic. Thanks for sharing this. It brought some childhood memories.
Every one of us who has financially supported the skateboard industry back in those days share a part of the responsibility. The pressure those kids must have felt would have destroyed many of us. Don't get me wrong, I'm not absolving the individual of guilt, but collectively we could have done a better job.
Yooo did u notice that Jay Grant Britain almost got took out 🤦♂️🤣 Back in day i use to wait for new episodes to come out! Man those were some good days…
Back when skating was still fun, before it became too commercial and a trendy thing. Great show. Used to watch it with my own kids. We skated together with their friends. I was the cool dad because I was still skating.
This could very well be my old VHS tape you somehow aquired.. I kinda doubt it, but it's possible because I recorded every episode and watched it religiously.
How is it possible something can be cooler 30 years later than when it first came out?
Because everything sucks now.
Talk about unlocking core memories!

He went by Matthew Lynn back then, not sure if it's a stage name or what. And heck yeah! That rules that this influenced your childhood🤘😀🤘
I watched this around 7 or 8 years old and after watching this now and I've skated for 35 years all I can say is Learn it Live it Love it
I was 10 in 1990,this was a great time in life 💯🔥🤙🏼😎
Thanks for uploading these 🙏🏻

When Skateboarding was still a crime
Lol, still is if you're using the electric kind!
I do miss those days!
I remember having to pick up my board and walk with it when cops were around or they'd confiscate it!
Trespassing and destruction of property always will be a crime, not to mention the other 20 things cops could threaten you with
@@danzifer Cops will always be class traitors!
this is great, commercials and all. thank you for the memories
No problem, glad you are enjoying them! I wish the VHS wasn't missing parts, and had all of the commercials.
@@wm45 Still completely worth it!
That’s funny. Gator says he likes “The Stranglers” from the UK. Then he ended up BEING a STRANGLER himself.
Predictive programming
Features Gator, eep. Kinda sad that he brought so much shame to the skating community after his crimes, that so many gave up on skating as a result of his actions.
Ended up being a smotherer, more like.
The Stranglers were badass.
@@esk8jaimes he didnt bring shame to sk8ing he brought shame to himself

I'm so happy I grew up in the 80s. OG from 82. Such a great decade.
It was fun!
@@wm45 I just looked it up, it actually came out in 1990, so yeah, the 90s were great also except for Kurt Cobain getting murdered.
Growing up in Southern California wathing this as a kid, good times.

16:39 to this very day this commercial still runs through my head
This is dope man, I remember seeing this on Nickelodeon. No one ever believed me or even remembers this. Thanks man.
No problem, glad you are enjoying them!
Thanks so much for posting these. Brings back my memories as a ten year old watching these on Saturday mornings and then skating with my buddies.
No problem, I'm just happy that so many others have been enjoying them as much as I did.
Gator: I like The Stranglers a lot.
A red flag for sure.

Skateboarding will NEVER be this cool again
Enjoying those old commercials😂
Yeah they are cool, I just wish there was more than what there was on the VHS.
That Crest Sparkle toothpaste advert was pretty good, memorable.
Thanks for uploading. This is the best we can get to back to the future.
No problem, glad you are enjoying them!
oh man thank you so much for uploading these! i appreciate it soooo much!
No problem! I'm just happy that so many others have been enjoying them as much as me.
Had to come back and say RIP SkateMaster Tate
wow, I never realized Mathew Lillard was on this show!
It must of been one of his first acting jobs.
RIP Skate Master tate
So blessed this was uploaded thank you so much!!!
Ray Barbee or Ron Allen was the first black skaterboarders I seen when I first picked up a skateboard. 1989. Sk8 tv is when I heard of Ray Barbee.
Check out Steve Steadham.
Rodney Smith!
Man I forgot about this show so dope
How could you forget? For shame. Haha just kidding.

You can get some bigger softer wheels. Do it, it's a lot of fun!
@@wm45 Really?! That’s amazing to hear, thank you! I’ll get them whenever I can!
@@ThatgirlZuri check out filmer wheels, they are smaller and super soft. Not good for sliding but would work out good for you.
@@wm45 Thank you so much!
My buddy Robert did the filming for this- so rad
Ray Barbee has the smoothest style
Yes, he has always had great style. When I was a kid I would watch the Rubber Boys section from Public Domain over and over.
And such a cool dude too.

Skatepark and skateboard legend Mark Red Scott at 8:54 in the photo Grant uncovers skating the King City banks in Oregon.
I remember watching SK8 on nick gas and it's still excellent today. 😀👍
I just wish they would release a DVD or Blu set of it, but I'm sure it will never happen.
Dude, this is like totally radical!
Gator's comment on music he is into "I like The Stranglers" a lot
Thanks
gator jokes hes been skating for 40 years; hes been locked up 30 years, ands he still is.
19:55 Interview with female skater Lori Rigsbee. I wonder if she's still skating these days...?
She died like 8 years ago so probably not.
@@ZyrusSmith Ah, that's a shame. Thanks anyway for telling me about that. RIP
Great skaters with the exception of that gator piece of sh.... Thanks a lot for this amazing collection.

At least you can watch most of it now! Haha
I hear they’re shredding gators pipe in pelican bay lol lots of tail slides
Thank you .way ta go..
I had a Ray barbee board when I was 12 and that thing was almost as big as me. Boards were so big then
I LOVE this...but I don't believe this is the first episode. There was one before it. The BAN THIS premier is in it.
Yeah I dont know, I can't find a full list to confirm that or not.
The Pilot with Natas was Jan 14th 1990, then we had to wait til July for this episode.
This is actually episode 4
Gator Mark Anthony.....oof.
So awesome, thank you!
Ya well if u need the 93325

Back when skating was still fun, before it became too commercial and a trendy thing. Great show. Used to watch it with my own kids. We skated together with their friends. I was the cool dad because I was still skating.
"...the infamous Mark Gator Rogowski." awkward......
This could very well be my old VHS tape you somehow aquired.. I kinda doubt it, but it's possible because I recorded every episode and watched it religiously.
A few episodes were not complete. I bought the VHS from eBay about a year or two ago.
@@wm45 Well anyway, thanks for uploading these. My nostalgia level is through the roof.
I know what I'm doing for the next 5 hours
@customvideo454I started skating in 1978, I'm 52 I've done my work & earned my money. I'm OMW to the skate park kid!
is that Matthew Lillard?
yup
Mathew lillard wtfff????
Not many things are both awesome and cringeworthy like this.
Can you up these to archive.org so I can download them without UA-cam's compression?
Sorry, I deleted the files after I uploaded them.

What year was this from?

Who thought shaggy was a skater boy
Gator killed that girl like 6 months after this aired
This is very intersting- I want a skateboard now `v`
Who would have thought a killer be on this show......
Yeah, you never really know what someone is capable of.
Was Tony Hawk ever on this show?
Yeah, he is on one of them. I can't remember what episode now and if it's complete or not.
